I never really liked Ted, the rest of the cast is amazing but as the show goes on I am beginning to hate everyone on it. Segal saved Muppets and Alyson won me over in Buffy but are loosing me as the their roles drag on. NPH is amazing in just about anything he does but I ca no longer stand him in this show alone. Cobie Smulders is gorgeous and I think she is just starting to grow as an actor, I can't wait to see what she does when given a good role. They even managed to make me hate Kal Penn. The only ending to this show that would in any way phase me is if Ted meets a woman who already has children (I think they have passes the point where the children would have had to be born in the timeline to be the age they are in the opening) and, here is the twist, she dies and he adopts the kids. That would be out of left field and the kids could thank god that they are in no way related to the putz that is Ted.
They have completely forgotten that all of the main characters except for Barney are burried under massive debt haven't they? The issue was addressed for a couple of episodes and they dropped the premise. This would have been the only redeeming aspect of the show, that all of the drunken stupid antics would come back to bite them in the ass, all except for the one person in the cast with no scruples whatsoever. I also have a problem with 2 Broke Girls in this regard, they have gotten their cupcake store not through being scrappy but instead it was just handed to them, the very first thing they do is try to get people to work for free so they can enjoy the profit and then I believe they are actively trying to make the worst decision possible for comedic purposes instead of using pressure and insanity of owing your own business to find the funny.
